| Description of the problem | 2006 nissan frontier le 4x4 with may 2006 build date. Fuel gauge stopped registering upon fill up. Gauge needle drops to empty with low fuel light within 2 miles of fill up, followed by service engine soon light. After 3-5 days of driving, gauge intermittently starts reading actual fuel level and ses light goes off. Consequent weekly fill ups have exact same results. Nissan dealer says an active recall for fuel sending units does not cover my vin. Impossible to tell how much fuel is in tank exactly on any given day. I use miles driven as gauge, and reset upon fill up weekly for a rough estimate. |
